777-300ER business class
Hi all I’ve searched but not sure if I’m getting the right info ... on the 777-300ER, I’m trying to figure out if it is new business class (lie-flat) or old business class (angle-flat). I’ve looked at Flight Radar and checked the aircraft on the list and they seem to have the ICE digital widescreen - does this mean the seats are the newer seats too or what? Thanks! |
Only about 6 aircraft have the latest business class, the angle flat ones are pretty flat too though

I think all aircraft from A6-EPV onwards have the lie-flat J class. Which is 21 in total I think. EQH-P have the new F and Y, along with a slightly different finish in J, but the same seats as EPV onwards.

A couple of weeks ago I did Dubai-Frankfurt in the new business class in the 777-300ER. The seat was flat but I wasn´t able to find a good position to sleep. I am not tall at all, but the space in front of the seat where you introduce your feet when you lie to sleep was only half of the space because there was a support for all the papers (Catalogue, Safety instructions, etc). This was row 7;maybe it is different in others.
The updated screens are very nice. |
Thanks everyone. The route is DUB > DXB > MLE. Basically, it’s a toss up between EK and QR. Total travel time is 2 hours shorter on EK than on QR on the return leg - outbound they are both the same. The return leg EK flight is also a morning departure from MLE (11am) whereas with QR, it’s an 8pm departure from MLE. Had my heart set on QR as I hear their product is better and also would have the opportunity to experience Q suites but they bumped up their prices yesterday by a few hundred each (in total) so just considering what other options are out there now before I make my decision. Also, don’t know if it makes it any easier with the decision but there are 3 of us so if going with EK, we would pick the 3 in the middle. If going with QR, we would pick 1 window, 2 in the middle or if we get lucky and get a Qsuites aircraft, we’ll be able to pick 3 in the middle - the privacy screen can be brought up so that the person in the 4th q suite seat will have privacy. help! And thanks :) |

The QR long haul aircraft would be better. However, don't they use an A320 on the MLE flight?
QR have a 787 DUB > DOH and an A350 DOH > MLE. EK is a 777-300ER for both DUB > DXB and DXB > MLE. |

I think you’re thinking of Etihad (which ruled them out for me when I saw the A320!) QR have a 787 DUB > DOH and an A350 DOH > MLE. |
I was very disappointed with the Emirates 777 with 2-3-2 seating in business so much so I have not used them since although I did like their A380 and their excellent lounges

Ah, yes. Both the B787 and A350 on QR are better than the EK B777. Food is also better IMO.

It's angled lie flat. The divider pressed against my shoulder for the whole flight. The table rested on my legs the whole time it was down. |

I agree with this comment. I like the A380 in J, but from a seating perspective, I think that 777 J is more like Y+
